The English, Downton Abbey Elopement of Esther & Carlos…

Elopement to England…

Esther & Carlos’ wedding appeared in our new Autumn/Winter Magazine (if you haven’t seen it yet you can see it here,) and I wanted to share it on the blog too because I love it so much!

It’s one of my favourites… I don’t know whether its because of the gorgeous pink 50’s dress, the chic styling details or simply they fact they wanted an intimate wedding so they decided to eloped from LA over to England and got married in a castle!

Why you love this wedding…

I adored that Esther and Carlos focused on what was important to them and followed their dreams of travelling from LA to marry in a castle in the UK with their closest friends.

What were the couple’s requirements…

Esther and Carlos were eloping and they wanted me to capture a little bit of their getting ready, their ceremony and the drinks reception they shared with their friends in the beautiful castle grounds.

Favourite details of the day…

Esther’s bespoke pink 50s dress was just the dream and it was so perfect for her.

What was your thoughts behind this post wedding shoot?

It was really interesting actually. Both the couple Jen & Gaz and myself decided on the All Star Lanes in Manchester to keep to the retro theme for this post wedding shoot. Jen loves the rockabilly pin up look so we thought it would work well. She also sings in a punk band.
